Choose the best definition for 'diffusion' from the following.
Different substances move independently depending on their own concentration gradients in?
Diffusion pressure is directly proportional to:
Rate of diffusion of $CO _2$ is $20$ times higher than $O _2$, as it depends upon?
Movement of gases across plasma membrane occurs through ______________
A bottle of perfume is opened in the room opposite to you and within minutes you begin to smell the perfume. This phenomenon is a classic example of
Passive movement of substance from region of high concentration to the region of low concentration
Water obeys
Diffusion occurs from
Diffusion finally stops when
Which of the following states the importance of diffusion?
Substances which can be moved through diffusion in plants are
A cell membrane controls what goes in and out of the cell. Because of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions of the phospholipid bilayer, small nonpolar molecules cross the membrane easily, while large and hydrophilic molecules cannot cross easily.
The term used to describe this differential movement of molecules across a membrane is
A cell membrane regulates which substances can enter and leave the cell based on their size and polarity . Which mode of cell transport is the movement of a substance from a high concentration to an area of lower concentration without the use of protein channels or energy?
A cell membrane regulates, which substances can enter and leave the cell based on their size and polarity. Ions cross the cell membrane through which of the following processes?
Type of transport across the biomembrane without the help of proteins is
Diffusion is more rapid in liquid than in gases.
Plasma membrane does not have carrier molecules for
Cell wall shows
The movement of free atoms from higher concentration to lower concentration is called:
State whether the following statements are true or false.
Lipid-soluble molecules are able to diffuse into a cell more rapidly than water-soluble molecules.
Which one of the following process of transporting substances across a membrane does not involve a change in the shape of the transport protein?
The given table shows properties of four cells systems A, B, C and D. The maximum rate of inward diffusion of water will be observed in which of these systems?
System | Intracellular concentration of water | Extracellular concentration of water |
---|---|---|
A | $0.09$M | $0.11$M |
B | $0.2$M | $0.5$M |
C | $0.05$M | $0.7$M |
D | $0.03$M | $0.6$M |
Movement of the molecules of solids, gases or liquids from the region of their higher concentration to the region of their lower concentration is known as ___________.
Water in adjacent xylem moves into the phloem by process of :
In photosynthesis, oxygen is given out by the process of
Aquatic plants lose most of their metabolic wastes by .......... process.
Name the process which is useful for the movement of substances like CO$ _2$ and O$ _2$ across the cell membrane.
Which is incorrect ?
The given table shows properties of four cells systems A, B, C and D. The maximum rate of inward diffusion of water will be observed in which of these systems?
